A/HRC/10/64 page 20 UNICRI,41 UNODC and ILO.42 The Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons has adopted the Principles and Guidelines as a foundation and a framework for her work and has been using them as a tool for assessment and review of specific situations at the country level and in evaluating the effectiveness of national and regional anti-trafficking strategies. International organizations, including IPU and IOM, as well as non-governmental organizations including Amnesty International, Anti-Slavery International, Human Rights Watch, Global Rights, ECPAT, Physicians for Human Rights, Save the Children, and the Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) have referred to the Principles and Guidelines in their research and advocacy efforts. C. The commentary to the Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking 84. Since 2002, there have been repeated calls for additional guidance on the Recommended Principles and Guidelines to be made available to intergovernmental organizations, Governments, civil society organizations and others involved in anti-trafficking initiatives. In 2008, OHCHR responded by developing a detailed commentary to the Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking. The purpose of the commentary is to provide a comprehensive legal and policy analysis of all aspects of the Principles and Guidelines, thereby assisting in their use as a tool for the development and application of responses to trafficking that are fully informed by international law and policy. 85. The commentary utilizes the work of the international human rights mechanisms as well as of States and intergovernmental agencies, in taking forward the human rights approach advocated by the Principles and Guidelines. However, it makes clear that prioritizing human rights does not mean that other objectives or approaches are invalidated. For example, States are still required to develop strong and effective criminal justice responses to trafficking. Nevertheless, at each step of every response, the human rights impact of that step and of the overall response must be considered and monitored. The ultimate objective of responses to trafficking should be to prevent it, to protect individuals from trafficking-related violations of their rights and to provide assistance when such violations are not - or cannot be - prevented. The commentary has been designed in a way that will enable it to be used as a tool for analysing the performance of relevant actors with respect to their legal obligations to prevent and respond to trafficking and related exploitation. A panel of experts, drawn principally from United Nations agencies and human rights mechanisms, reviewed the technical quality of the draft. The results of that review are currently being incorporated and it is expected that the commentary will be publicly available in the first half of 2009. 41 UNICRI implemented the Principles and Guidelines in particular in the development of training curricula, see “Trafficking in Human Beings and Peace-Support Operations: Pre-Deployment/In-Service Training Programme for International Law-Enforcement Personnel”. 42 ILO has extensively used the Principles and Guidelines, see: Human Trafficking and Forced Labour Exploitation: Guidance for Legislation and Law Enforcement (Geneva, ILO, 2005); B. Olateru-Olagbegi and A. Ikpeme, Review of Legislation and Policies in Nigeria on Human Trafficking and Forced Labour, (Geneva, ILO, 2006); Combating trafficking in children for labour exploitation: a resource kit for policymakers and practitioners (2008).
